Our Community

Serving our community since 1972

Since our early start as a buying club, our co-op community has grown to nearly 170 employees, over 500 local vendors, and more than 8,000 member-owners. We support local schools, nonprofits, and initiatives that advance our mission of sustainable food systems and healthy communities. Our co-op welcomes everyone, and we hope to see you at our workshops, food & wellness fairs, Earth Day celebrations, and truckload sales.

Giving

We contribute to school functions, fundraisers, community groups, and area events that align with our Co-op's mission. To make a request, fill out a sponsorship form or donation form.

Hunger Mountain Cooperative Community Fund was created in 2005 as a charitable-giving program. Community grants are awarded annually to businesses, organizations, and initiatives aligned with our mission. Learn more here.

Outreach

We provide tabling opportunities as part of our mission to educate our community. Tabling is a forum for community groups (nonprofit, educational, families/children, and the arts) to share educational materials with our member-owners and shoppers. Access our tabling request form here.

Our Co-op provides shopping discounts to member-owners who volunteer with the Co-op or our local partners in the community. Learn about the latest volunteer opportunities here.

We happily offer educational tours for kids of all ages. We will provide a store tour, an educational presentation, healthy snacks to sample, and goodies to bring home! Contact Community Relations to schedule a tour for your class or community group.

Events

Our workshops focus on a variety of subjects that are in line with our mission and are presented by well-informed members of our community.
